Northlight Theatre Announces MAUDE MAGGART IN CONCERT: A One-Night Only Event Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 9:00 p.m.
Northlight Theatre, hosting a rare Chicago appearance, presents Maude Maggart in Concert, a special one-night-only concert event. Maude Maggart in Concert will take place Saturday, April 20 at 9:00 p.m. at Northlight Theatre, 9501 Skokie Blvd.
“Maude is one of the rising stars of the national Jazz Cabaret scene,” says Tim Evans, Northlight’s Executive Director. “Her talent as an intelligent interpreter of the contemporary American Songbook is extraordinary and we are honored to present her in this exclusive Chicago appearance.”
Born and raised in New York City, Maude Maggart started her performing career in the clubs of New York and Los Angeles. The young celebrated chanteuse created a stir in Hollywood with her debut show at the Gardenia, when The Los Angeles Times said, “Maude Maggart’s talent and imagination offer hope for the future of cabaret.” Fostered by Andrea Marcovicci and Michael Feinstein, Maude has performed at Feinstein’s in Manhattan, the Plush Room in San Francisco, the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, and the Oak Room at the Algonquin in New York City. She has exploded into one of today’s most compelling international concert artists, and has been hailed as “bewitching” by The New York Times, “utterly enchanting” by the New York Post, “stunning” by the Los Angeles Times and “transfixing” by New York Magazine.
Maude is the scion of an acclaimed show business family: her grandmother starred in the George White Scandals of 1926; her grandfather was the star vocalist for the famed Harry James Big Band; her parents met while performing with Lauren Bacall in the Broadway musical Applause; and her sister is pop singer/songwriter Fiona Apple.
“Ms. Maggart is the most emotional and vulnerable singer you’re likely to experience anywhere…When Ms. Maggart begins singing, she instantaneously, right before our eyes, teleports herself back to the era and into the heart of the song. She’s being it rather than merely talking about it,” saysThe Wall Street Journal.
Regular tickets are $45, and VIP tickets are $100. In addition to the best seats, VIP tickets include a pre-show reception (7:00 p.m.) with complimentary beverages, appetizers, and a meet & greet with the artist.
